ABSTRACT:
A decoupling device is used for the purpose of establishing a selective connection between two rods, especially two gearshift rods disposed between the transmission and gearshift lever of a motor vehicle. This device permits forward and backward movement of the decoupled gearshift rod after the transmission has been shifted into a gear and reduces the noise and vibrations transmitted from the transmission to the gearshift linkage and the body. The decoupling device, which is particularly adapted for installation into the tubular casing surrounding the gearshift linkage, includes a spring-biased, pivotally mounted latch, which establishes the selective connection between the ends of the gearshift rods. The latch is attached to the end of the one gearshift rod and cooperates with a drive pin or a second latch disposed on the end of the other gearshift rod. Either a form-locking connection or a force-locking connection between the gearshift rod can be employed.
